Shaping the
Venture Studio
Movement
Leading thought leadership, proprietary tools, research, and community building to professionalize the venture studio ecosystem globally
Helping Define the Studio Asset Class
Enhance's studio thought leadership started by chance when their 2019 white paper "Innovating Innovation" went viral. Since then Enhance has been one of the most influential studios in the global ecosystem, generating research, holding events, and even rebranding what was once called "startup studio" to its grown up version "venture studio".

White Papers
Oldies but Goodies that shaped an industry
Innovating Innovation
Enhance • 2019
This seminal white paper has been downloaded over 12,000 times from our website with no marketing efforts. It was arguably the first 'proper document' for the studio model including definitions, case examples, studio numbers, funding received. Years and many white papers later, we are still told by many studios, they were inspired by this white paper to start their studio journey.
Disrupting the Venture Landscape
GSSN and Enhance • 2020
This historic white paper was the first time anyone tried to measure the impact of venture studios and how they perform better than 'ventures in the wild'. Its data has been used by countless studios in raising funding and recruiting top talent.
